Givenchy Fashion Show Paris Womenswear FW2016

Carreau du Temple, the show venue at which Riccardo Tisci presented his earliest collection, brought us all together for Givenchy on Sunday night. For fall he came up with variety of psychedelic meets animalistic as well as Egypt inspired with a touch of military. Busy printed mid length dresses paired with generously cut officer’s coats and jackets and worn with just below the knee pump/boots. Fur lining and leather patches (like a green fur lining on a golden jacket and some black snakeskin patches on a number of all black looks) were a returning thing. Tweed suits were alternated with oversized shorts. And light lace and transparency had just as much a place in this collection as that heavy snakeskin-leopard lined number (which looked stunning) towards the end. Within the all natural color palette one bright shaded leather metallic jacket and even a cheerful paisley print made their way onto the runway. Proof that for fall/winter anything goes if you ask Tisci. Therefor not the strongest, most cohesive collection, but it included some mindblowing looks nonetheless.
